Just my thoughts here but I think publishers etc do themselves a disservice with their DRM and geographical restrictions.
If I purchase a hard cover or paperback book [and an ebook is generally the same price as one of these depending upon the pub date] ... it is mine and I'm free to lend or give it to whomever I choose. The same should hold true for ebooks. If I lend it to one person and then get it back, or give it outright to someone, that's no one's business ... and it's certainly not up to a publisher to tell me I can't.
If DRM means I'm "renting" a book ... then the cost of the document should be a whole lot cheaper.
I'm sure that I'm not the only one who chafes against being told what I can and can't do with something I've purchased.
